1. “Wow. George W. Bush was so bad, the Norwegians gave Obama the Nobel Peace Prize just for being President,” tweeted “JoshFlaum.”
2. Rush Limbaugh needed an early Christmas present as he was running out of radio show content for his GOP audience of Obama cinics. Limbaugh said: “This is a bigger embarrassment than losing the Olympic Bid… He’s being judged on wishful thinking.” (Oh Rush… have another twinkie bar and Cuban Cigar!!!)
3. “Dreams of our Father, would never win a Nobel Peace Prize award for literature, but Obama got there anyway.”–says D Sands of Whakatane.
4. Nomac of Saudi Arabia says: “One of reasons sighted for giving the award to him has been his efforts to heal the rift between the Muslim world and the west.”
5. New Zealand calls it a “stunning decision.”–Television New Zealand news coverage.
6. The Norwegian Nobel Committee says: “Obama’s extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples,” propelled him to the forefront to win the award.
7. The committee goes on to say: “His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world’s population.”–the democracy card is a hallmark of peace, according to the committee.
8. “I could not think of anybody who is more deserving,” said ElBaradei, the chief of the International Atomic Energy Agency. Mohamed ElBaradei, won the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize Award for his efforts to prevent nuclear energy being used for military means, said Obama deserved to win for his efforts to bring Iran to the table for direct nuclear talks with the United States. Um… how can you argue with that?
9. Obama joins Martin Luther King Jr. and Ralph J Bunche to be the third African American to win the Nobel Peace Prize Award. Obama is the fulfillment of MLK Jr and Bunche’s work, very befitting.
10. “He’s got a big ego. He talks like this, cuz he can back it up. He got a big ego. Such a huge ego. I love his big ego. It’s too much. He walks like this cuz he can back it up”–pop diva Beyonce, Ego lyrics. Another reason why Obama deserves this award.
Let’s go America!!! Exciting news for global leadership that matters and world peace.
Gadafi endorses this man!
Next, Nobel Peace Prize goes to Gadafi.
This award really shows that the “selection” of Obama to POTUS was not only an American elitist choice, but an international elitist choice. The plot deepens.
You’re telling me that Beyonce is one of the reasons Barack Obama got a Nobel? Again, it’s fine to talk about new directions and hopeful changes, but what has he done? The answer is nothing at this point.
You should have quoted Lech Walesa, who said, “So soon? Too early. He has no contribution at this point.”
HORIWOOD: Hi Jon (Wellsy) how are you. Im a foreigner in the USA. So I think he’s made a huge contribution to America already. Thanks for your views though. Perhaps Lech’s view could have been a bit more serious sounding than Beyonce’s Ego lyrics. But this is an entertainment news website too Jon. :) Thanks for sharing. A nice point.
